EWC 2008 Trios part 1


Yesterday was a tough day at the office! We were playing our first block of trios on the short. The first team did really well, shooting 81 over, leaving them well in contention after one squad. We went on to the lanes feeling pretty good. We all seemed to look ok in practice but by the time practice was over the lanes seemed to have carried down a little and were playing longer than in the doubles. I was still using my World Class Particle Pearl and it looked pretty good but I had to keep the pace down. If I was a little quick through the shot, it was leaving me something pretty ugly to spare. Each of us struggled to find the carry and ended the first game with 514. The second game was a little better. I changed to my Sure Strike but it didn't quite give me the reaction that I was after, although did look good and could be a possibility for the team event. I had a few ugly splits in game 2 but managed to pull things together and we had 604 in game 2. We then went on to lanes 1 and 2 for game 3 which played nicely in the doubles. I felt comfortable on this pair but again we all struggled with the carry and finished with 556 and a total of 1674.

The first sentence kind of sums things up for yesterday...it was a tough day at the office and we're hoping that today will be better for us.

The other girls are playing at the moment and look pretty good and are having a great last game....hopefully we can follow them and shoot big this afternoon.

More later xx
